Fire Safety Tips

October is Fire Prevention Month and fire stations across Montgomery County [Maryland] will be hosting many educational, family-oriented events and activities throughout the month.
 
[Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service] Fire Chief Steve Lohr is encouraging all residents to check their smoke alarms to ensure the highest level of protection from smoke and fire. “Smoke alarms are one of the most important safety features to have in your home and if you haven’t replaced your smoke alarms since 2004, it’s time. We’re calling this the “ten year rule” to remind folks that after a decade of service, it’s time to retire and replace all expired smoke alarms.”
